An inflatable non-imaging non-tracking solar concentrator based Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) system powered airship consists of a conventional airship with an upper transparent cover and an array of inflatable non-imaging non-tracking concentrator based CPV modules. Where in, the inflatable non-imaging non-tracking solar concentrators are inflated with helium or hydrogen and fused into the structure of the airship to generate lifting force and concentrate sunlight to supply power simultaneously. The introduction of the CPV system into the airship dramatically reduces the cost and significantly raises conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic system without adding any extra weight to the airship. The expansion of the airship will both increase the buoyant force and power supply.
